Predators force Capitals to settle for just one point

Posted on March 31, 2014

Patric Hornqvist’s parents flew into Nashville from his
native Sweden for three days to see his first child.

They got a bonus on Sunday when they saw their son score two
goals in the Nashville Predators' 4-3 shootout victory against the Washington
Capitals at Bridgestone Arena.

Hornqvist missed the Predators' 2-0 win against the Chicago
Blackhawks on March 23 so he could be present when his wife Malin gave birth to
the couple's first child, a daughter.

"It was fun for them too, to see me score my 100th goal
and then a big win," said Hornqvist, a right wing who was the last player
selected in the 2005 NHL Draft. "They're only here for three days. Then
they have to go back and work. Obviously, it was good timing."
